Merry Christmas from Breath of Hope

There's more, much more, to Christmas than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

- Norman Vincent Peale

Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under the tree.

- Charlotte Carpenter

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace. - Agnes M. Pharo

Merry Christmas!

Quotes by Ghandi on his Birthday...

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary, the evil it does is permanent.

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after the Truth.

It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

(The last one, I believe explains the amazing strength of these infants and children in battling CDH and their parents for loving them through the battles.)
